OU Notes: Acquired this from one of the Tull road crew several years ago & then promptly forgot I had it. Does not seem to have surfaced anywhere, so this should help fill in the missing gaps at The Ministry of Information. The very first track on the tape is the instumental Quartet, played over the PA in the theatre, and which can be found on the Nightcap album (highly recommended). The first instrumental is also incomplete - otherwise the this is the concert in its entirety.
Share and Enjoy!

Remaster
1. Correct significant speed error.
2. Create Stereo Field from Mono recording
3. Correct Channel Imbalance
4. Adjust dynamics and correct low volume segments.
5. Repair missing sections.
6. Remove clicks and pops due to tape.
7. Re-track.
8. Rare tape distortion still present. For example, Hunting Girl beginning distorts during loud section. Recording level seems to have been turned down during the song, eliminating further distortion.

Comments during the show:
-This is for Chris Welch, this is Too Old to Rock and Roll.
-This is from our new album, which is quite a good album, despite what you may have heard.
-I have laryngitis and the doctor said if I sing tonight I won't be able to sing tomorrow...so too bad for them tomorrow.
-Whistle at beginning of Locomotive Breath too loud and someone says something they shouldn't.

Thanks Dave. I've been looking forward to this one since seeing it in the 'coming soon' area at PRRP.

"thanks!

If it's anything like the PRRP Louisville 1977 Tull show, then that's gotta be true, since that Louisville PRRP version doesn't even come close pitch-wise even after the corrections; Ian sounds like one of the Chipmunks on that one!

Ian`s wit never quits. A superb recording. Thanks Dave.

Many thanks...my first Tull boot!

Nice show. Unfortunate rip of the Snafu album cover though, and it runs a bit fast. PRRP getting a bit lazy maybe?

Thanks Dave for this amazing sounding show and stellar performance! I do have to disagree though with the one post about this running too fast, personally I think the pitch/speed is spot on for a 1977 Tull live show. Anyway this is a must have for any fan of Tull's music and without a doubt one of the best remasters PRRP has ever done...thanks again!!!
